I have beautiful public courses for people of all ages to enjoy. Gay Brewer at Pabrook and Tate's Creek. And one of the best things about golf and sports, of course, are doing. These and active members of the military also make hero posters that will be displayed at their schools to honor the military. They are so lucky to carry folks. And now I'd like to hear the first elementary schools in Lexington age. And whereas both of the military use it, are making Lexington a better place by growing the game of golf. Lexington do hereby declare November 4th, 2021. So for Bledsoe to say a couple words, say a few words. You have simply time. Chad has not. It's taken elementary age children. This year they're playing with veterans. And what a great hour. 15, 20 years down the road. And it's grown to be something citywide. The council members that I've seen before come in. To get to golf. To get to golf. So your all support and doing this, but also who actually was running late because he was helping close and we did it with high schoolers, but also long term to help impact their future. So, again, thank you guys so much. It's an awesome honor and privilege to be here to see this is so cool. And then to just try to share a little bit more about force on the course and what to say is put a little video together for you all if we wanted to watch that. Hello, I'm Shad Lacewood, director of the Do Something Extraordinary Golf Club. Welcome to the Force on the Course Armed Forces Edition. The Do Something Extraordinary Golf Club started in 2017. Our mission has been to be able to provide free access to the game of golf for Title I schools in Fayette County. As part of our program's initiative to help our kids grow, not only in the classroom, but also in their community, we started the Force on the Course Armed Forces Edition. During our Force on the Course golf event, our students will be partnered up and playing golf with an active member of the military or a veteran. We would love for our students to be able to meet, interact, and engage with the men and women who have served our great country. Part of our activity as well is students will be providing a gift for their veteran that they're going to be golfing with and making a hero poster that will be displayed in their school so that way they can share more to their classmates and to their school about the veterans who serve in our great community. The Do Something Extraordinary Golf Club is excited for our kids to meet veterans and interact with veterans on the golf course. But we want to do more. We are actually raising money to help fund and start a possible PGA Hope location right here in Lexington. And an adaptive golf program that can benefit not just veterans, but also members of the community of Lexington that might be disabled and could benefit from the great game of golf. One of the special guests that we're going to have at this event is Ben Brown. Ben Brown is a veteran and active adaptive golfer. Check out this video. Ben is excited to show what is possible with adaptive golf to not only our members of the military that have been injured, but also to anyone in the Lexington community that could benefit from this game. It was Ben's idea to partner us with Eastern Seals, who run an adaptive sports program and be able to get people involved to help us at this event show and model what could be possible. We are very fortunate to have the Parks and Rec's department donating their four solo riders for our event. And also we're excited to have the city of Louisville donating two pair of golfers as well that we will have at this event. We have also brought on another special guest, Shay Taylor, adaptive golfer and Mr. Health and Fitness 2021. Shay will be speaking at our event and sharing how adaptive golf has impacted his life. Both Shea and Ben will also be hitting our ceremonial first tee shots at the event, and we are excited to have both of them there to help support this initiative. An event such as this needs amazing community partners, and we're so thankful for Neil and Sheila Griffith from Moe's Southwestern Grill, who's going to be donating all of our food. We're also excited for Gulls, who's donating our polos, Red Rooster Golf, who's donating our gloves, and even Parks and Rec, who's donating Kearney Hills Golf Course that you guys will be playing. We also want to thank the City of Lexington and Athens Golf Complex who have made donations to help us get up and running. But we need more. If you would like to help support our Force on the Course Armed Forces Edition, you can do so by visiting the Gilbert and Bunnell Foundation.org and making a tax-deductible donation, titling it Force on the Course. The Gilbert and Bunnell Foundation is a nonprofit that helps support organizations like the Do Something Extraordinary Golf Club. Their vision is to help students impact their community and grow as citizens. So please help us in this initiative as we work to impact the city of Lexington and grow our community with the game of golf. Congratulations, and I'm going to invite Shad and his assistant, Hannah. We have a council member whose name is Hannah. Would you have a picture with the council and the mayor? Sure. She says, sure. Thank you. And we are not finished by any means with all the really great things going on in our community. At this time, I'd like to invite to join me at the podium the Lafayette Band Field Commanders and Directors. Welcome. Come on now, don't be afraid. Well, I just have to say this straight out. I am a proud Lafayette band parent. He knows that. It doesn't matter that my children are all grown up now with children of their own. But once a Lafayette band parent, always a band parent, right? And my husband was even in the Lafayette band. So we are sort of all in here. And tonight's really exciting for me. Lafayette Band, better known as Pride of the Bluegrass, has won its 22nd Kentucky Marching Band Championship. And they won it right here in Lexington at Kroger Field. The Kentucky Music Educators Association Band Championships are back in Lexington. And we're joined tonight by Robert D. Bishop, director, Chris Strange, assistant director, Aaron Jones, assistant director, Islam Abusharia, drum major, Hayden Arnold, drum major, Lauren Hayes, drum major, and Lance Young, drum major. And if you are not familiar with how these bands operate, the drum majors are the field commanders. They are actually up there directing the band during the performance. And so a lot rests on your shoulders, too. So I want to thank you all for coming. It is my great pleasure to present this proclamation. Let's see. Come on, Stan D, come. Whereas the Lafayette High School Pride of the Bluegrass Marching Band has won its 22nd championship in the Kentucky Marching Band Championship competition. And whereas Lafayette won the Class AAAA title with its show Peace of Mind, which I have to say was beautiful. Whereas the Lafayette Band is the state's largest band with 212 members, and whereas Lafayette has won the last four state championships in this competition, which is sponsored by the Kentucky Music Educators Association, Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare November 2021 Lafayette Band Month. Congratulations. Shall I give it to the field commanders? Yes. So first I'll ask Director Bishop if you would tell us what the secret is to Lafayette's success. the secret is fantastic community support and a group of students that just work their tail off and that's you know you can't me being just the current caretaker of it i think the longevity of the lafayette band goes back more than 80 years and so excellence has been there a long time and And I just hope that myself and Dr. Strange and Aaron Jones can continue to be great caretakers of that and go for number 23 next year. So thank you all very much. Thank you. Don't go away because I know there are quite a few council members who have connections to Lafayette Band, and they want to speak. And I would like to start with Council Member Fred Brown. Listen to his story. I've got a lot. Just congratulations to the Lafayette High School Band on winning the 2021 5A Division State Championship, a winning tradition since 1990, is my record, with 22 wins. I share my history with the band as a band parent and grandparent. I don't know if anybody else can say that. My daughter, Melinda, was on a champion team in 1992, 93, 94, along with the mayor's daughter, along with Amanda Mays Bledsoe. And I think Whitney was not on that one. She was on, Council Member Baxter was on there. So we share a lot in common as far as Lafayette. But then I had a grandson, 2006 champion, a granddaughter in 2008, 2009 champions, then a grandson in 2019. And now I've got two grandsons on this particular champion, Noah and Coleman Shoffners. To say the least, I am proud to be a part of this great tradition. Thank you very much, Council Member Brown. Who else wants to speak about the band? We'll just go right down the line. Council Member Reynolds. My name is Jennifer Reynolds and I'm the 11th district council member where Lafayette is currently located. And I've never been in band, but I had a lot of friends that did it. And the first thing that I have to say about people that do band is how dedicated and disciplined they are. You all put in a ton of hours, all of you, in order to reach this goal. And I just wanted to say how thrilled I am for you and how proud we are of you. And I hope that you know that your elected officials and that your city are just very, very, very proud of you guys. And that we appreciate your accomplishments. And I hope that you feel that today and every day. So thank you for all your hard work. House Member Bledsoe. Thank you, Mayor. I wasn't going to mention the years that I was on that Lafayette band. Glad for you to do that. I trolled a rifle in those championship years. and the Be Here Now, and we started on time, which meant you were at your spot five to ten minutes early, Be Here Now. And I am early, up until this job, I was always five to ten minutes early because that was instilled. We started on time. And the discipline you learn during that time serves you for a lifetime. The dedication, twirling, and a thousand-degree heat on that blacktop, nothing like that, not to mention when it's snowing. The other day I woke up to Dunbar actually practicing, and I thought, what is that sound? It's not you all. That's the difference. But it's amazing. It's an amazing accomplishment that you have that many years behind you, and it's a testament to hard work. So congratulations to being a part of the Pride of the Bluegrass. It's pretty amazing. Thank you. Anyone else? Yes, Council Member Sheehan. So I had the privilege to see you all perform on Saturday at Kroger Fields. It was a chilly and wet night that whole day, really. and it didn't inhibit your performance at all right y'all were amazing and I wanted to just say a note of appreciation to all of the support that family and friends give to the band I understand there's like manning concession stands I watched a lot of people lug set pieces across the field so it's a tremendous undertaking to get you to this point and to support you through the season. So I just wanted to say thank you to you all for your performance and to all those that support you. Congrats. Thank you. And Council Member Baxter, I think, was in the band with my son. We were. Yes. And this, I feel like, is as emotional for me as it is for you guys, because I am so utterly proud that you guys are carrying on my tradition and the tradition that we all have with the band. I'm sorry. I did not mean to get, um, I, I really am proud of you guys and, uh, the show was beautiful this year and I, I do know what it means to be a band parent and a grandparent and the support system, um, that surrounds you. And I also know that it's 110% not, um, it won't happen without those people. So it, like Liz said, it's, it is wonderful to have all that support and And the community support as well is very, very important. So with that being said, I hope that my daughter, who just picked up saxophone, will one day be in the band and will carry on the tradition that you guys have carried forward. So thank you so much for your dedication. Anyone else? Now, I'd like to invite you all to bring your proclamation and join us for a photo. Thank you. Thank you again. Congratulations. We are not quite finished yet. We have more excitement. And I'd like to ask Coach James Ray. Are you in here? Okay. Okay. We'll give the Dunbar High School boys soccer team a minute to get in here. Yes. Can you all come join me at the podium over here? Good, and it takes pre. Okay. And then Melinda. Oh yeah, yeah. I'll be here to bring. Where did you live? How are you? Congratulations. Fine, come on. We're going to crowd the winners. Scappa. Have you come over here? I'm cute. Scappa. Oh, we got a big group. Come here. You're packing. Whoa. Can you all move up so we can crowd everybody in there? Hey, how are you? Good. Are you Coach Chris? Okay, very good. Ooh, this is quite a crowd, isn't it? So tonight, we have Dunbar High School boys soccer coach, James Ray, as well as many of the team members. And some of the council members know my little past with this, but I love soccer so much that once I was a soccer coach for Lysa. A lot of you maybe grew up in Lysa playing soccer. And I coached my daughter's under-12 team, the Sapphires. And in fact, just today, Councilmember James Brown and Councilmember Chuck Ellinger and I cut the ribbon, officially opening a new futsal court at Martin Luther King Park. Are you familiar with it? Yes, you all know futsal. a modified form of soccer, but fun nonetheless. And this past weekend, Dunbar High School continued its tradition of winning boys' soccer. The Bulldogs have won the state championship five times. 1992, 2001, 2005, 2013, and now 2021. They have a history of excellence. Led by James Ray, the Bulldogs brought home the state title over Covington Catholic by a score of 2-1 on October 20th. As you get older, you'll remember this journey with your teammates and your coaches, really for the rest of your lives. And so I want to congratulate you and read this proclamation. Will you join me? And then everybody kind of crowd around. There you go. Whereas Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School boys soccer team won the state championship over Covington Catholic by a score of 2-1 on October 30, 2021, and whereas despite an early red card, some of us know those are not good. Now, we're not going to name any names. They reduced their squad to 10 after only 20 minutes of play. The Bulldogs fought hard and played as a team. And whereas, be patient with me, please, Jose Avina, Alex Barnes, David Betancourt, Ezra Blackman, Reese Calhoun, Isaac Cano, Gio Chavez, Grant Cortad. He should read them, right? Okay.

Kaysen Johnston, Charlie Kilpatrick, Parker Nurick, Ryan O'Hara, Jake Ozer, Chas Rich, Rico Romero, John Sater, Faisal Syed, Concepcion Torres, Kobe Valdivia, Johnny Vazquez-Flores, and Chandler Zhu played with heart, spirit, and dedication all season long. And whereas head coach James Ray and assistant coaches Christian King, Eddie Zanika Velasco, Matt Oster, and Ted Butler did a wonderful job leading their team to a state championship. Now, therefore, I, Linda Gorton, mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare November 4th, 2021 Dunbar Boys Soccer Day in Lexington. Go Bulldogs! Congratulations. Would you like to say a few words? I first just wanted to thank the mayor and her staff for having us out here tonight. We appreciate that. And also everything you guys are doing to grow the game of soccer here in Lexington. I know the futsal courts are have been a long time coming and I know those will be used for years and years to come. So we do appreciate that as well. But this is obviously a great honor for these boys. They've had an amazing season and this is very well deserved. They battled all year and capped that off with a state championship this past Saturday. And we again just want to thank you for the recognition. This is something they'll remember for quite a while. So thank you guys for having us down here. Appreciate it. Thank you so much and congratulations. Any comments? Council, before we get a picture, a photo? Yep.

The Dunbar Bulldogs, your soccer program has gone back for a long, long time, back then 92 team. I remembered that team. I had friends on that team. And you've built that for a very long time. So we're super proud of the work you've done and for the future you guys have. And whatever soccer journey it takes you, we're really excited. So thank you, parents, for your investment in their kids. It means a lot to us. Thank you. Very good. Anyone else? Councilmember James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. And congratulations. I'm a Dunbar graduate. I was at Dunbar 92, and I was a member of the soccer fan club. All right.

Next we have for information only, communications from the mayor, and I also would like to ask Haley to put up a photo. Today, it was my honor to go to celebrate an award which was given to Susan Straub. As you all know, she is the Government Director of Communications. She has been in that position for four different mayors, six different terms, and today the University of Kentucky Department of Integrated Strategic Communications honored her with the James C. Bowling Excellence in Public Relations Award. And her son Matthew was able to be there with her, and she has a wonderful history of trust and respect from the journalism and communications public. And the thing that I know this thing for a fact about Susan is that many members of the media like her and trust her because she calls them back, whether it's a controversial issue, whether it's a you know good happy thing whatever it is she always responds to them and so tonight she was honored and i just wanted to give her a shout out for that thank you next we have no police or fire disciplines and so it's time council members if you have some announcements to make. Council Member Baxter. Whoops. Council Member, I saw you up there for a second. Council Member Baxter. Thank you, Mayor. I'll see if I can't get through this a little better than the last time I spoke. I have a few announcements. Tonight, our residents will notice several buildings around town participating in the Light the World Teal program. Lexington landmarks such as Rupp Arena, Pedways, and parking garages will join more than 360 buildings across the world tonight to raise awareness and show support for the millions of people affected by Alzheimer's. So I just wanted to bring that to everyone's attention. Also wanted to remind everyone that this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Joseph Beth Booksellers, the Kentucky Book Festival will be happening all day long and you'll have the opportunity to meet over 140 authors. And then finally, I want to give a huge shout out and thank you to our Lexington Fire Department for hosting our council field day yesterday. We had the opportunity to learn and experience and break some windows and cut some cars up and repel and do all kinds of fun things. So it was a great experience for all of us and we really appreciate the invitation. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you very much. Council Member Reynolds. Thank you, Mayor. First off, I would like to recognize Boy Scout Troop 186 is here. Could you all please stand up? They are currently meeting at Beaumont Presbyterian, and they came, I think, for their government. Is it their government badge? Is that right? Citizenship. Citizenship to come to our meeting, and we were talking a little bit about kind of the process of our meeting and how things work. And so I just wanted to recognize them for coming tonight. So thank you. I also wanted to mention that on Saturday, on Oxford Circle, there is going to be a planting project. Some folks from our area got a grant for the medians in Oxford Circle to plant trees and plants, and they just received all the plants. They already planted the trees, now they're doing the plants, and they need a lot of volunteers because there's going to be a ton of plants. So Saturday, starting at 9 a.m., we're going to be out there planting. I'm going to bring my son with me. He had so much fun last time planting trees. So please bring your families out and join us on Saturday to spruce up those medians. Thank you. Thank you. Council Member Maloney. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to shout out to Susan, a friend of mine. We've been here forever. And I commend her. She does deserve that award. And I'm proud of her. She'd be sitting here, she'd be looking at me like this. So I know she's looking at me right now, but she knows I do care about her. But secondly, I want to thank my colleagues for helping with the sheriff and also the nonprofit. And yesterday, Tuesday, we had an interesting meeting with all the folks that came down here. One thing that brought the puzzle to me, and that is that, Mayor, I know you're doing the negotiation with the church and the Civic Center in the park. That $7 million threw me for a wrench. I didn't know that they, for the entrance. Is that part of the new negotiation, or is that not part of your negotiation? That's the first I really heard of, the $7 million. They want for the entrance for the park. and I know we're negotiating with the church right now, and I've kind of stayed out of that, but I just saw that the $7 million come out, that's the first time I've seen that in a while, and I'm just wondering, is that part of that negotiation? No. No. The church is negotiating with the park, and that is something totally separate that was submitted to the council. Okay, because I was just curious when I saw this. Are you for that $7 million entrance? Because it's going to come out of offer money. I didn't know if that's something that you request. That was not on my list. Okay, that's on. Thank you, Mayor. I appreciate it. Thank you. Council Member James Brown. Thank you, Mayor. And thank you, Council Member Baxter, for sharing those photos from yesterday's Council Field Day with the Fire Department. I think it was a very educational and an exhausting day, to say the least. You know, those type of activities, I think, are really informative to us as Council Members. We don't know what everybody does in their day-to-day job. So I appreciate the opportunity to learn about some of the things they do. and would encourage other divisions in the city to offer the same thing. I think we would sign up and go out and do those on a regular basis. So I'm interested in that and challenge other divisions to give us the opportunity to do that. I know we have some academies, but our schedules are packed as they are. So I think that was good. And then, Mayor, I just wanted to thank you and Council Member Ellinger for joining me today out in the Wimburn neighborhood for the opening of that futsal court. That initiative was really started by students. Students talking to their teachers and school administrators about a lack of access for places to play soccer in their neighborhood. And Laura Hatfield at the time was running One Lexington. She took that conversation. We had a meeting internally, Monica, myself, and some folks from Winburn Middle School and made it happen. So it wasn't the biggest thing in the world, but I think it meant a lot to a lot of people, especially the folks that live in that community. And that court is a nice facility, and it was a lot of people involved with it, including our neighborhood resource officers, the school, the students, and the folks in the neighborhood. And I will say before Councilmember Ellinger brings it up, we were kicking the ball into the net and I missed. But I think it's, the mayor made it in just by, no. So no, I just think that those kind of things need to be celebrated when they start at the true grass root levels. The other thing I wanted to mention today, we sent an email out to East End Community Partners earlier this week about the activities around the Palmer Pharmacy Building. A lot of y'all that have been around the horseshoe knows the challenges and how long we have been working to move that project along. It's actually got some legs. And tonight we gave second reading to go ahead and start working with the only respondent to the RFP that we put out. I just want to share that there is intent by them as a partner with the city to We have created an opportunity for public input and feedback about their proposal for that building. But I think it's still an opportunity for folks to get involved and to share their thoughts about what that space could be. I think they have a direction, but I think they're still willing to take input or more feedback. Commissioner, is there anything else I need to add to that? But just making it public that that is moving along and that there's still opportunity to weigh in. So that's all I've got. Thank you, Mayor. Okay, thank you very much. Council Member Bledsoe? Thank you, Mayor. Just two things. And one, Clay's Mill Road is officially closed down on one lane going north. So between Pasadena and Stone Road, please don't try to use side roads that also dead end as cut-throughs because they don't go anywhere. So we're going to be placing some little signs saying please don't go down Lamont and others. Please try to avoid Clay's Mill altogether if you can between now and the next two weeks, as members of this body have also been stuck in traffic for a long period of time. Between schools and traffic, it's intense. So please just avoid Clay's Mill if you can between Southview and Pasadena. And I appreciate police placing some speed trailers and doing some extra patrol to try to remind people that that is not a gateway to the Speed Dragon. Okay. And then lastly, I was really looking forward to our Friday night movie at Moondance, but it's going to be very, very cold. So we will not be hosting the movie in 20-degree weather on Friday night for everyone's benefit. We hope to come back next year and do more Freaky Friday movies in 2022. Thank you. Thank you very much. Does anyone else have an announcement? All right. Thank you. It is time for public comment, and we do have a couple people signed up. And just to remind the public, if you will come to the podium, state your name and your council district, and you'll have three minutes. And first is April Taylor. Welcome. April Taylor, 1st District. What would it mean for you as elected officials to join the thousands of Lexingtonians who stood together to help bend the moral arc of the universe towards justice and demand an end to no-knock warrants in Lexington and demand changes to the collective bargaining agreement that directly impact the accountability and transparency of the Lexington the police department. What would it mean for you to believe the suffering and pain of the citizens who elected you, who had the courage to march and sit in front of the police station night after night in the summer of 2020 and share stories of racism and abuse that they had experienced at the hands of the Lexington Police Department, most of which had resulted in no discipline. The current CBA you rush to vote on does include some changes that citizens asked to be made. There are now citizens included in the disciplinary process. The mayor and police want you to believe that this was their idea. But if you recall, the former FOP president gave a presentation to you all about why this was not possible. And the mayor resisted this even when the mayor's commission on racial justice recommended it by claiming it required a change in state law. The commission recommended three citizens be added so that their voice would matter enough to make changes. Why does this matter? Remember Liam Long, the black autistic teenager experiencing a mental health crisis who was intentionally plowed down by an LPD cruiser. We just found out that the officers involved in intentionally causing Liam's life-threatening injuries will not face any discipline, not even counseling on how to better handle situations involving those mental health crises. Remember the black autistic teenager who was punched in the head by the police chaplain? A loophole in the disciplinary process allowed him to retire with no discipline. citizens deserve to have enough of a voice to affect the process. Even if you advocate for that, it may not be enough because the chief of police still has ultimate authority of the disciplinary process and can override any recommendation. This means that most complaints wind up as informal complaints where the most that happens is counseling and only stays on the officer's record for one year. The dictatorial power and watered down accountability are things you have the ability to change. You have the ability to stand with Lexington citizens who have been pulled over by the police, who have a history of making racist stops with nobody to make sure somebody besides the police knows what is happening and can actually do something to address it. We wanted to ask you to reject the CBA, but public comment comes at the very end. You just gave away pay raises that were your only bargaining chip while you are facing litigation from the very union you bargained with. You gave away tens of millions of dollars in COVID relief money to police who show up after a crime has occurred, while not prioritizing hearing from the most impacted people who face homelessness, addiction, and poverty, who have been provided the right resources, you can prevent the crime you claim to be investing in when you give millions to police. You could have had the courage to stand with those who have boldly chosen to lead this city in bending the moral arc of the universe toward justice. You hold the power to be the voice of the people most impacted by the injustices that are going unheard and unaccounted for. In a world where the voiceless are empowered enough to be heard, we don't have to take to the streets in nonviolent protests and wind up criminalized by the systems. We are courageous enough to take a stand to change because our very lives depend on it. You've had council members cry tonight and share about the connections they experienced in Lafayette Band. I'm a former Lafayette Band member. Where is that same compassion when we are speaking about the reality of our lives? Even when it differs from your privilege so much that you'd rather believe it's not true. Why is my humanity no longer valid? Because I'm not in a uniform marching to the ordings I've been given, Mayor. Do we not deserve to speak up when it is a matter of saving our lives and living with the same dignity you do? Black lives matter. And if I go to jail for the charges that did, for the changes that did get passed, that you all will now take credit for, I'll organize in jail and make sure we as a community are poised to take your seats and elect city officials with the courage to represent the people who are bold enough to lead when things like dignity, compassion, and our very lives are at stake. Thank you very much. Next is Rabbi David Wortshafter. Welcome. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Thank you to the city council. Let me briefly add my voice to those congratulating the young people at Dunbar High's soccer team and also the Lafayette Band at Temple Adith Israel and also at Congregation Ohave Zion, where we heard from their new rabbi tonight, Shani Abramowitz. We send a number of our young people to those two high schools, and we share in the city and in the city council's pride. in those youngsters. I am Rabbi David Wurchafter, and I'm in the 5th District, and I am the minister at Temple Adith Israel. Let me add on a personal note, along with the city councilwoman Bledsoe, about driving safely out there. If people could please not treat Richmond Road as a speedway or the Indy 500. I live there. My wife and children live there, and many of us would appreciate our fellow Lexingtonians slowing down. Having said all that, I'd like to speak to point number 38 in tonight's resolution of second reading, and I would urge the city council to please follow the input of the interfaith leaders of Lexington and vicinity curtailing the immunity of law enforcement officers as per the comments of the previous speaker. this is a matter of moral urgency and of leadership. Thank you. Thank you very much, Rabbi. I do not have anyone else signed up for public comment. So at this time, it would be appropriate for a motion to adjourn. Thank you. All those in favor, say aye. We are adjourned. Thank you very much. The End I can't see you I can't see you I can't see you I can't see you
